Xylose is the main building block for the hemicellulose xylan, which comprises about 30% of some plants (birch for example), far less in others (spruce and pine have about 9% xylan). Xylose is otherwise pervasive, being found in the embryos of most edible plants.
17 sie 2021 · To determine the mechanisms enabling xylose and acetate co-consumption by engineered yeast, we compared transcriptional levels of the genes (ACS1, ACS2, ADY2, JEN1, FPS1, PMA1, and HOG1) related...
21 lip 2015 · The observed overlapping genetic responses to xylose and mannitol in plant-associated Pseudomonas suggest that these two sugars (xylose and mannitol) are likely co-present in the plant environment and act as important nutrients for the plant colonizing microbial communities.
Xylose, a pentose sugar, is frequently found in xylo-oligosaccharides (XOS), polymers of xylose (Kumar et al., 2012; Mäkeläinen et al., 2010). These sugars are naturally occurring in fruits, vegetables, and milk, but are also synthesized from xylan, a structural component of plant lignins and hemicelluloses ( Kumar et al., 2012 ).
7 gru 2015 · Here we report the presence of a functional phosphoketolase pathway, which splits xylulose-5-phosphate (or fructose-6-phosphate) to acetate precursor acetyl phosphate, in an engineered strain...
The most frequently xyloglucan structure in dicotyledonous flowering plants is the repeating heptamer integrated by four glucans residues with α-D-xylose substituents in three constitutive glucans of the backbone, followed by a single unsubstituted glucan residue ( Figure 1).
11 maj 2017 · Beyond optimization of xylose isomerization and xylulose phosphorylation pathways, additional genetic perturbations for eliciting improved xylose fermentation have been identified through rational and inverse metabolic engineering approaches.
